    If\[x+\frac{1}{x}=5,\]  then the value of\[\frac{{{x}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}}{{{x}^{2}}-3x+1}\]is

    A)  70                   

    B)  50

    C)  110                 

    D)  55

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[x+\frac{1}{x}=5\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}-5x+1=0\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-3x+1=2x\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{{{x}^{4}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}}{{{x}^{2}}-3x+1}=\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{{{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}}{x} \right)=\frac{1}{2}\left( {{x}^{3}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}} \right)\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\left[ {{\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{3}}-3\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right) \right]\] \[=\frac{1}{2}(125-3\times 5)=\frac{1}{2}\times 110=55\]
